List of famous abusers

[sasha_feather]

I made a list of famous abusers, spending a few hours on it over a couple of days. It's over 140 people at present.

I don't think I want this shared widely-- It might generate some heat. But it can be shared around amongst your friends. Also ping me if you want editing access.

as much as it pains me, I gotta point out that Twiggy Ramirez (from MM) was accused of rape. :/

There hasn't been a big public outcry yet, so there's nothing in a newspaper.

However, This post doesn't name Mieville, but it seems to be widely known that it is about him. CN: abusive relationships

"How famous is famous". I don't know the answer to this. The list already got a bit out of control. But it seems to me if they are making headlines, that's enough to be famous.
